NFC and the web:
It’s happening

2. NFC and the web?
• 2012: W3C formed the NFC Working
Group
• Developing a standard API for web
apps to access NFC devices
• Ensure that API is compatible with
NDEF specs defined by NFC Forum

3. Hitting stride
• First public working draft landed in
January
http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-nfc-20140114/
• Read, comment, revise
public-nfc@w3.org

4. Drafts take forever
I want to build
something right now

5. Pushing the edge
• What do we have to work with?

6. Wait….don’t they both support Android?
• Yes...for Android Beam support

7. • All things NFC
https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/WebNFC
• NFC support in emulator
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=916863
• Example code:
https://github.com/svic/gaia/tree/master/apps/nfc-demo
• Firefox OS Flame has NFC

8. • Not a lot of talk from the API side, but
some mentions in tracker
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?q=label:
Cr-OS-Systems-NFC
• Chrome App NFC lib
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-nfc
• Support for ACR122U / SCL3711
• Works now

9. Psstff Justin!
That’s a demo at best

10. Didn’t stop us from integration
• Chrome OS + NFC = kiosk goodness

11. In Conclusion
• NFC + web = it is happening
– Yipee!
• It’s an evolution
– I don’t think everyone is tossing
out their existing apps tomorrow

12. Thank you
